I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

“Attention Butler County School Employees: If you are interested in our FREE CCW class, email your full name, school affiliate, and contact information to ccwclass@butlersheriff.org. This class will be limited to 50 candidates. We will contact you this week with the date, time, and location of the class. Yes, ANY employee of a school located in Butler County may apply. You will be required to show proof of employment prior to class.” – Butler County Sheriff’s Office

My Commentary: Voluntaryism, for the win! In virtually all situations, there is no legitimate cause for the force of government to be involved. Save the muscle for the actual criminals; otherwise, you make yourself into one! It is immoral to use coercion upon innocent, peaceful people. Learn the meaning of consent, and pay better attention to where your jurisdiction ends!

(Jake Tapper) When Coral Springs police officers arrived at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14 in the midst of the school shooting crisis, many officers were surprised to find not only that Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson, the armed school resource officer, had not entered the building, but that three other Broward County Sheriff’s deputies were also outside the school and had not entered, Coral Springs sources tell CNN. The deputies had their pistols drawn and were behind their vehicles, the sources said, and not one of them had gone into the school.

(Alan Blinder and Patricia Mazzei) The only armed sheriff’s deputy at a Florida high school where 17 people were killed took cover outside rather than charging into the building when the massacre began, the Broward County sheriff said on Thursday. The sheriff also acknowledged that his office received 23 calls related to the suspect going back a decade, including one last year that said he was collecting knives and guns, but may not have adequately followed up.

My Commentary: This one’s for the “only the police and military should have guns” cultists, who proselytize for all personal self-defense to be stripped away from innocent and peaceful individuals, by force (of course), and outsourced to agents of the State, also by force (of course) – and take this position with virtually no regard for the quality of service being provided, as would be expected in the case of irrational fanaticism.

The following debate originally took place on the Facebook wall of family…

Zayvier B.: This isn’t meant to spark any sort of mass argument, but only to expand a field of view. You cannot deny the use of the AR-15 as the primary weapon of more than half of our nation’s mass showings. With that being said, I want someone to tell me a use that only can come from an AR-15 that would demand it be kept in the homes of citizenry, and is a use ONLY the AR can fulfill

Rayn: Returning fire at one of these mass shooters you mention? As you said yourself, “[y]ou cannot deny the use of an AR-15 as the primary weapon in more than half of” these types of attacks.

Zayvier B.: Wrong, an AR isn’t the sole item that could be used to deter or defeat a shooter.

Rayn: I said “returning fire,” not “deter,” nor “defeat,” and I meant it in the most literal sense, imaginable…

Zayvier B.: I understand that, but my point was to state what makes the AR something so important and gives it a quality only it has. Any firearm could be used to return fire at any kind of assailant

Rayn: Then, my question is this: as an innocent human being (also, never charged with domestic violence, nor any felony) that would be engaging in peaceful activity (meaning that there is no actual victim) if I seek to obtain the firearm of my choice, what gives anyone else, but me, jurisdiction over my actions? Why am I to be restricted, so as not to have the exact weapon to defend myself that the criminal easily has at his disposal? Truly, “what makes the AR something so important” that I can’t use one to defend against one?

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artworkhere, being shared by the page, “Lysander Spooner,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the law abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless.” – Lysander Spooner

My Commentary: Keep siding with Accuser, lemmings! Your refusal to think for yourselves, along with your natural fear of freedom, and desire to control the innocent, is what makes #democide possible!

The dangerous Utopian myth known as government has been responsible for over ONE HUNDRED MILLION murders of “its own” in the last century (and, that’s just the most modest estimate, available)! But, by all means, continue to weaponize and militarize the State, while clamoring for your neighbor to be disarmed – in the name of fighting “crime” (wink, wink)!
